Grease trap cleaning near Touchen-end

Grease trap cleaning in Touchen-end

Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out and the chambers and baffles cleaned and the trap checked before we leave. The work covers inline grease traps, kitchen waste pipes and school and care home kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are washing-up water that won’t drain away and a blocked kitchen drain caused by grease.

For a kitchen in or near Touchen-end, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.

We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Your questions about grease trap cleaning in Touchen-end

Do you work in school kitchens around Touchen-end out of term?

Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Touchen-end, the Food Standards Agency lists about 4 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we will plan around them.

Can you get to a site in Touchen-end?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Touchen-end is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.

How long does a grease trap clean take?

A typical clean takes anything from under an hour to a few hours, depending on the trap including checking it drains. It’s booked when the sinks aren’t needed.

What do you do to protect the area?

By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.

Do we need to stop using the sinks while you work?

Just the sinks that drain into the trap, and only while we work. Visits are booked outside your busiest hours wherever possible.

How we price grease trap cleaning

The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:

  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • The times the site is available
  • The size of the system
  • Travel, parking and unloading

One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.

What we need to know

Before you ask for a quote, gather:

  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:

  • Keep strainers in every sink
  • Hot water only moves grease further down
  • Tell us if your menu or hours change
  • Do not wait for a blockage to book a clean

We take the grease and solids away. Nothing is left for you to dispose of after the visit.

Grease that gets past the trap sets in the drains. Clearing it then is a bigger job, so it’s far better to keep the trap clean.

Part by part

Under-sink grease traps

An under-sink trap is out of sight. When they fill, the sink slows and starts to smell.

Inline grease traps

Inline traps are fitted into the drain line. They’re larger than under-sink traps but still fill up.

When something else is needed

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
  • Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
  • Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Where we work

  • Restaurants and takeaways
  • School and care home kitchens
  • Under-sink grease traps
  • Kitchen waste pipes
  • Inline grease traps
  • Pot wash sinks

What we are called out for in Touchen-end

The more a kitchen cooks and washes up, the quicker the trap fills. Traps sized for lighter use can struggle when cooking increases.

Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • A routine grease trap service
  • A blocked kitchen drain caused by grease
  • Drains that gurgle and bubble
  • A bad smell from the sinks or drains

If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Mark's Hospital about 2.9 miles north, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

What your quote should include

  • Whether VAT is included
  • Whether they’re fully insured
  • Whether a written report and pictures are included
  • Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them

Grease trap cleaning in Touchen-end: local notes

Food Standards Agency records include about 4 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Touchen-end. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Touchen-end are the job of Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health team. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.

A summer deep clean suits schools such as Holyport College, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Dorney Court is about 2.9 miles north-east), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning.

What happens on the day

There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a short visit for a small trap and longer for an inline unit or interceptor. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Touchen-end knowing what to expect.

  1. A visit is booked around your service.
  2. We open the trap and look at its condition.
  3. Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
  4. We clean the baffles, inlet and outlet.
  5. The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
